We are considering setting up a LAN with a file *and* print server for
about 10 MAC's and 10 PC's.  One possibility is to reconfigure our
existing a Sun 3/150 to be the file *and* print server with PC/NFS and
TOPS.

   *  Is a 3/150 equipped with SCSI disk fast enough to support the PC's
      and MACs?
   *  Will it also be possible to use the 3/150 as a compute server?
   *  How much memory the 3/150 have?  
   *  How much disk should the 3/150 have?
   *  What is the experience of the community with this kind of configuration?

Please reply to me.  I will summarize.
